The Manifesto for Quiet DisruptorsHave you noticed? We’re shifting from one era to the next.
From the modern, industrial age where there were linear and predictable answers, to a complex, interconnected and volatile world. Where what we do affects who others become and impacts our whole environment, without us fully realising it.
We need different voices. People with fresh things to say who don’t need to shout.
Not just super-heroes with confident gestures. Nor the loud, always-on culture, with quick answers that offer attractive sticking plasters, yet fail to see what comes next or why we are doing it anyway.
But the thoughtful and creative change-makers who look from the edge and craft their responses, who want to make a difference, differently. Not just for today.
Because more of the same won’t do.
So now is our time to shift the conversation by becoming the change we want to see. Owning our voice, finding the others and having the courage to speak softly about things that matter.
Because only people make change. And change emerges with those who have the courage to be different:
It’s time for the new change-makers. The quiet disruptors with the courage to speak softly about things that matter.
